MAPLAB was founded in 1996 with a focus on residential interior architecture and custom furniture design. We support your vision for your home through careful design and down-to-earth personalized service. Where did the name MAPLAB come from? I believe the process of designing and planning a renovation project is like charting a course on a map. Quality design requires clarity in destination and a planned route that leads to the best results in your home's final design as well as management of your designated budget.
Finishing your basement is a cost-effective way to add livable square footage to your house. Those who live with long Midwestern winter months, a finished basement is a welcomed, indoor playground for kids-and parents. A cozy lower level to watch movies, exercise, go to the home spa or spread out arts and crafts can be significant lifestyle benefit in your home. A kitchenette or bar can create a space to entertain guests or provide an area to teens and young family members. There are many solutions for adding height to and removing the darkness and dampness that some basements may have we work to reclaim basements into cozy and usable lower level living spaces.
Whether you are a gourmet chef or just a casual cook, a dream kitchen is a key investment in your home that will give you returns by enhancing your life every day or when you choose to sell. Creating a lasting kitchen design is much more than picking out cabinets and counters. Our architectural and engineering services can address the behind the drywall structure and systems—mechanical, electrical and plumbing—more support than what a typical kitchen showroom can provide. We help you with the entire process—from planning the layout that supports how you actually use your kitchen—to selecting the cabinets, countertops and light fixtures.
Our residential design and renovation projects range from consulting on color to rehabbing single rooms like the kitchen—all the way to the redesign of an entire home. Many of our projects are single rooms or designated areas in a home—a kitchen with adjacent family room, a master bedroom and bath suite, or an unfinished basement. Sometimes these rooms require an addition or a corresponding outdoor room like a porch or deck to achieve the desired outcome. We determine the style and look of your project together with you, deciding what best expresses your taste and needs while balancing the plan with the rest of your home.
Master baths are a natural extension of the dressing area, and the ease and simplicity of putting together your public or personal presentation helps create consistency and comfort in your daily ritual. Children's bathrooms are a place for fun and laughter, but they should also be safe and comfortable for you as parents. The powder room or guest bathroom is for your visitors—and it can enhance their experience when they visit your home. Attention to the detailed connections between materials is critical for a long—lasting bathroom design or renovation, and humidity is the natural enemy of all bathrooms.
